“India has to stop violence in occupied Kashmir which have been going on for decades and has resulted into the deaths of thousands,” the Prime Minister said.
Talking to journalists in London on his departure for Pakistan Nawaz said Pakistan has provided proof to the United Nations of India’s involvement in Pakistan. Proxy wars should be ended which will have a positive effect.”
To a question Nawaz said that both countries have to adopt a balanced behavior as the both countries had been involved in hostilities since their independence. Talking about domestic issues, the Prime Minister expressed the hope that the PML-N will win the upcoming by-elections.
“We pray to Allah for mercy on Pakistan and we will succeed in by-elections,” Mr Sharif said when asked about the by-elections on the National Assembly seat in Lahore.
